After some further consideration, I went out of my way to figure
out I
could get exactly the output you're getting. This doesn't use ptrace,
but it's not something you would likely do on accident. I figured I'd
post this because there might be a (very, very, very) slight chance
that you're doing something similar with a global class. Here's the
gdb transcript where you see different output for normal shell
execution and within gdb...
haven:test jon$ g++ -o test test.cc
haven:test jon$ ./test
shouldn't get here
haven:test jon$ gdb test

size = sizeof(info);
junk = sysctl(mib, sizeof(mib) / sizeof(*mib), &info, &size,
NULL, 0);
assert(junk == 0);
// We're being debugged if the P_TRACED flag is set.
return ( (info.kp_proc.p_flag & P_TRACED) != 0 );
}
// code to run before the main()
class premain {
public:
premain(void);
};
premain::premain(void) {
if(AmIBeingDebugged()) {
printf("darwin-i386\n");
exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
}
}
// instance in global scope
premain *mypremain = new premain();
int main(void){
printf("shouldn't get here\n");
return 0;
}
I hope that helps. This seems like it might be an interesting problem
if it's something to do with your actual code and not something to do
with how gdb is configured.

Perhaps you have ptrace() called with PT_DENY_ATTACH? This could
simulate the behavior you're currently experiencing.

It never even stops at the breakpoint I put at main.
Anyone have any idea what is going on or seen anything similar?
If I run
the program without gdb, I can attach to the process OK, but I
just can't
start programs in gdb.
